    My mother-in-law was a resident here in 2020 and she got amazing care. Hospice was an amazing resource and took amazing care of her. Dunlap is like a "home" environment for all the residents. The staff here are amazing and care about all the residents like they are family.

    The current staff are dedicated to providing quality care through compassion, integrity, respect and dignity in all interactions with residents, families & visitors. We welcome the community to join us this spring in our upcoming events hosted at our beautiful assisted living. It is always a blessing to care for the ones who used to care for us.

    This facility is full of friendly staff who always have a smile on their face! Beautiful outdoor area in the back with lots of birds and wildlife. My grandfather was in this facility before he passed and it was always a good experience when going in and visiting him.

    Impressed!!! My sister visited our brother at this facility and she was so impressed on how immaculate and friendly the staff are!! Excellent facility in every way and although I live in Nevada, I have spoken to Demsy who works at Dunlap Specialty Care regarding my brother. Demsy has been exceptionally helpful and answered any questions I have. My sister has also expressed Demsy has been so helpful and how grateful she was with Demsy's help. The Customer Service, Care they give to their patients, and pride of their facility is Superb.
